Some aspects of the cgroups setup / detection code are quite subtle and easy to break. It would greatly benefit from unit testing, but this is difficult because the test suite won't have privileges to play around with cgroups. The solution is to use monkey patching via LD_PRELOAD to override the fopen, open, mkdir, access functions to redirect access of cgroups files to some magic stubs in the test suite. Using this we provide custom content for the /proc/cgroup and /proc/self/mounts files which report a fixed cgroup setup. We then override open/mkdir/access so that access to the cgroups filesystem gets redirected into files in a temporary directory tree in the test suite build dir. Signed-off-by: Daniel P.

LibVirt : simple API for virtualization
Libvirt is a C toolkit to interact with the virtualization capabilities
of recent versions of Linux (and other OSes). It is free software
available under the GNU Lesser General Public License. Virtualization of
the Linux Operating System means the ability to run multiple instances of
Operating Systems concurrently on a single hardware system where the basic
resources are driven by a Linux instance. The library aim at providing
long term stable C API initially for the Xen paravirtualization but
should be able to integrate other virtualization mechanisms if needed.
